I have a file of some 874 games if you'd like it. This is a really off the wall
opening that I will be examining and MAY even play it in the next tournament.

Regards,
Jeff

What is your suggested line for white after 2...Nxg4 3.e4 d6 4.Be2 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5?
This is recommended by Watson, and there were some discussions about it several
years ago on this newgroup. A Google search will probably find some
information.

Personally, I'd prefer to be black with a solid pawn structure and an extra
pawn.

After
d4 Nf6 2.g4 Nxg4 3.3.e4 d6 4.Be2 Nf6 5.Nc3 e5
i think 6.dxe is the way to go for example
6.dxe dxe 7.Qxd8 Kxd8 8.Nf3 white has a good lead in development
for the pawn, it is not so easy for black to unravel, i believe the position
to be roughly
equal.
Having said that, if white does not like this line then 6.Nf3
should also be
ok for white, again the lead in development gives some compensation for the
pawn.
The open g file also makes black think twice about castling

I'm definitely a chess amature. Having said that, I just tried this opening a
couple times on ICC and had some great luck with it. It's funny to make the 2.
g4 move, and then see your opponents clock click down as he thinks to himself,
"What the hell was *that*?"

At least three people post as "Nick". They have different e-mail
addresses and writing styles.
